(7/28/15) Fresh off of the disabled list, Marlins second baseman Dee Gordon went right back to making an impact on the basepaths in Tuesday's 4-1 win over the Nationals. Gordon went 2 for 3 with a triple and a sacrifice bunt.

He also scored a run and continues to lead the league in hits with 124, despite missing more than two weeks with a thumb injury. Gordon is batting .294 over his past nine games.

2014 summary: In something of an upset, Dee Gordon beat out Alex Guerrero for the Dodgers' starting second base job, and then he went on to be one of the most productive middle infielders in Fantasy. Gordon led the majors with 64 stolen bases, and his speed also helped him to post major league-leading totals for triples (12) and infield hits (62). The latter mark helped Gordon to post a .289 batting average. Gordon's reign as the Dodgers' second basemen ended in December when he was traded to the Marlins in a seven-player deal.

Playing time status: Gordon will be uncontested as he is slated to be the Marlins' everyday second baseman.

2015 outlook: Gordon left little doubt that he can be a top-flight Fantasy option if given regular playing time. He's a top five second baseman and early-round option in standard mixed Rotisserie leagues, but wait until the middle rounds to draft him in Head-to-Head points leagues.
